Council adopts proclamations, appointments and ordinances; summary of votes and next steps
Summary
The Murray City Council approved a joint proclamation declaring April 2026 Child Abuse Prevention Month, confirmed advisory and district appointments, adopted an ordinance vacating a utility easement, and adopted a resolution to allow reimbursement of water-system expenditures from future bond proceeds; roll-call votes were unanimous as recorded.
At its March 3, 2026 meeting, the Murray City Council moved through several consent and action items and recorded roll-call votes on multiple measures.
Proclamation: The council adopted a joint resolution proclaiming April 2026 as Child Abuse Prevention Month and commended the Murray Exchange Club and victim advocates. The motion (moved by Council Member Bolan; seconded by Council Member Pickicket) was approved in roll call with the recorded vote reading "I" from Mr. Picket, Ms. Carter, Mr. Bolan, Ms. Turner, Mr. Hawk and Mayor Hills.
Appointments: The council confirmed Kathy Houston to the Senior Recreation Center Advisory Board (consent agenda) by roll-call vote. Later in the meeting, after a public hearing, the council appointed Leverne A. Snow to represent Murray on the South Salt Lake Valley Mosquito Abatement District; the appointment passed on a 5-0 roll call.
Ordinance: The council adopted an ordinance vacating a municipal utility easement near 4998 and 4950 South Galleria Drive after staff explained the developer will record a replacement easement of greater value. The ordinance passed on a unanimous roll call.
Finance resolution: Council adopted a resolution expressing the city's intent to reimburse itself for water-system capital expenditures from proceeds of a future bond if the water fund chooses to bond; staff clarified that the resolution does not itself authorize a bond and that the maximum stated amount in the draft was $5 million. The resolution passed 5-0.
What to watch next: Most items were approvals, not policy changes. The pool rebuild discussion earlier in the meeting did not include a funding authorization; staff will return with budget-linked designs. The reimbursement resolution preserves the option to use future bond proceeds to reimburse test-drilling and other water capital costs if the council later approves a bond.
Ending: The council completed its consent and business items and adjourned following the mayor's report on community events.
